Bridges to Community’s Ecological Brigade is made up of 20 local youth ages 12 to 22 from our partner communities. Through hands on learning and leadership, the brigade builds environmental awareness early, empowers young people as ecological champions, and puts knowledge into action through projects like trash cleanups and reforestation.

What this project will achieve

• Train and support 20 youth through workshops on environmental protection and conservation

• Share environmental education with schools, churches, and community groups, spreading awareness about water preservation, waste management, and reforestation

• Lead community based action projects including trash cleanups, water tap installations, and tree planting

• When possible, engage North American volunteers by sharing their vision for a healthier environment and inviting them to participate in activities

We are seeking $4,700 to support the Environmental Brigade and reach an estimated 300 people across 3 communities. Funds will cover monthly meetings, educational materials, trash bins, and native trees for reforestation.
